Re: Little House on the Prairie: The Complete Series
I'm up to about Season 5. I recently started re-watching at Season 1 again instead of spending the money on the rest. At least I can maybe get the remaining seasons on the cheap. However, better transfers (that this show friggin deserves) would be the only reason I'd buy this new Series set.
Real Name: Arthur Belling of "St. Looney Up-The-Cream-Bun-and-Jam"
BEAR: 1992?-2007.
GOLDIE: 1997-2008.

Re: Little House on the Prairie: The Complete Series
I have the whole series, too- and I have no complaints with the picture quality (But I don't watch on anythiong fancy- just a plain old 25" set...which is what these shows were designed to be watched on when they aired...)- but my complaint is the sound quality!
I remember even as a kid, watching these shows when they first aired, the sound quality was horrible. Half the time you can't understand what Ma and Pa are saying- they're either whispering, or Charles or mumbling or talking faster than somebody from Hoboken!
These shows don't just need to be remasterd or restored, they need to be improved over original, as far as sound quality goes. I love this show...but spending so much time straining to hear what they are saying, really ruins my enjoyment. I have even contemplated selling my set, because of this.
Concerning the new whole-series release: Have you guys seen the pic of the packaging on TVshowsondvd.com? For me, it's a real turn-off. I'm getting tired of all these little cutesy bozes- I mean, lets face it, most of us have at least a fair ammount of DVDs, and can't put all of the cutesy ones out on display, but rather want to put them neatly on a shelf.
But...I shouldn't complain- at least this is one of those rare shows where we were lucky enough to have had them release the entire series.....

Yeah...on the one hand, it really sucks that they'd treat consumers like that (then they wonder why everyone hates their guts)...on the other hand though, personally, there are very few shows that truly have good "extras". I mean, I liked watching the extras that came with the original LHOTP seasons...but lets face it, they're something ya watch once and that's it- so personally, I don't feel like I'm missing much by not getting the new ones...[IMHO, the only extras I really value are the ones with the Simpsons- namely the directors/writers commentaries on EVERY episode. Love it! But everything else? Meh.... Even the Twilight Zone extras don't impress me much...]
The people I really feel sorry for, are the people that spent a lot of money on LHOTP season sets! I got mine on sale all at once, just last year for a total of $217....but people who bought them when they first came out...or when they weren't on a big sale, probably have close to $400 into the series....and then here comes the series all in one box with more extras....for (probably a street price of) under $200. OUCH!
And as a bachelor....there is NO WAY I'm gonna have that fruity covered-wagon box sitting around!!! (Even if ya just have a few of these shows that come in the cutesy boxes...where the hell do ya put them? )
WHAT are these studios thinking?!!!!

It's that simple.

I know- they should at least make the new goodies available to the loyal customers who bought the earlier discs, in the form of a seperate disc that they could sell seperately- and what the heck- at that point, it's just a matter of having to make a few more copies of the new extras discs- .25 cents worth of plastic that they could sell for $10-$20- it's foolish not to, because I'm sure the majority of people who own the older sets aren't going to buy the new just for the extras...so it wouldn't be like they are losing sales on the new sets if they make seperate "extras" discs.
They should also offer indicidual discs from sets, seperately. Like say somebody ruins or loses a disc from a season set....it's ridiculous that they'd have to replace the whole season.
Ah...if I ran a DVD studio.....I'd have a bunch of loyal customers, because I'd operate in such a manner so as to accomodate my customers needs- which is the fist principle of any business. (I'm not one of those who says "The customer is always right"....but i do believe in treating people like I'd want to be treated- and giving them a fair shake...and it works wonderfully in small business...and it would work in big business, too)
